Next step: make a PR to bytestring repo

There is already a type called ByteArray so perhaps we had better use "vector".

I have a branch where I have converted the non-internal, non-Char8 modules to use "vector" instead of "string".

Next action: gather consensus that this is a sensible thing to do
